An Allergy-Weeds Pollen Panel is performed in cases of suspected inhalant allergies due to pollen from weeds (grasses). It helps in determining the exact source or allergen causing it.
Allergy – Weeds Pollen Panel measures the IgE-mediated response to pollen from 5 different weeds (grass):
- Common Ragweed
- Mugwort
- Plantain English
- Goosefoot
- Salwort
Total IgE levels are also measured.
This test requires a blood sample post exposure to the allergens. A tourniquet (elastic) band is placed tightly on the upper arm. The patient is then asked to make a fist. This helps in the build-up of blood filling the veins. The skin is disinfected before needle insertion and the blood sample is collected in vacutainer.
Positive result to an allergen indicates that the person is allergic to it. Increased allergen-specific IgE levels further confirms that. Very often the test may be positive for more than one allergen as well. The further treatment course is decided based on the results. Based on the symptom, age, environmental allergens, and region wise allergens further testing may be required for specific diagnosis. Negative result may require other tests for differential diagnosis.
